This embedded video has the URL displayed automatically beneath it, but the video ID of the video has 'x3' in it, and this is being rendered as the smiley.

Think you can stop that by adding [Plain][/Plain] around the URL? Will test it- x3. Yep, that works. I'm not sure they can disable it automatically doing that by default; people (like me) have certainly been infrequently annoyed by it, so I'd expect it's been requested.

If you're writing the URL manually, yes. But when you embed a video XF automatically inserts the link beneath it. You can't wrap the whole embedding in [Plain][/Plain], because that would disable the embedding too.

Hmm. *shrugs* Doesn't seem to affect ability to follow the link, anyhow.

Try [ media=YouTube ]url[ /media ] without spaces.

The following line contains [media=YouTube]https://youtu.be/Tjlx3-xq3l4?feature=shared[/media]:

Edit: As you can see, it produces no result at all. Additionally, even if it did work, it would not solve the bug I am reporting: that auto-inserted URLs should be immune to smileys but are not.

The problem is that part of url reads as an emoji/smiley... So to prevent that, ALL smileys need to be prevented/blocked on backend

Not all smileys. Just ones inside the auto-generated URLs under embedded media.

Look, in order for the site to load smileys, it's an all or nothing deal (as far as I know).

The actual bug is text being converted to smileys AT ALL. Smileys come from the smiley picker and should have a [smiley] tag or something to turn them INTO smileys.
If I write XD I mean POKEMON XD GALE OF DARKNESS, don't make me put [plains] around random clumps of symbols to stop strange things from happening.
Fortunately this doesn't seem to be happening to me.

That'd be because XD isn't on the list of smilies. While

x3

is.

Fair point, and thank you. Then I don't need to have Hyper Potion x3 randomly turn into a catface number of Hyper Potions. Stop invoking the Missingno glitch.
